Neptune Cottage is ideally placed for a comfortable family holiday just metres from the Porthgwidden beach. Well equipped. Steep steps up into the cottage might not suit pushchairs or mobility restraints. Two good doubles and twin beds in the attic.

Weve been to Neptune cottage 3 times now- its good value for money, a fantastic location with very close access to our favourite beaches as well as shops and restaurants. We love having a tiny sunny outside area at the front plus a sea-glimpse from 2 of the bedrooms.

Clean accommodation in a location close to parking and beach access for an early swim. In December with an easterly wind, the gaps in the front door provided an unwelcomely cold entry to the property and hall/stair area and even with the heating on max the whole ground floor felt chilled. Heat rises and the 1st floor bedrooms were more comfortablRead moree although the attic bedroom remained uncomfortably chilled. Although the 1st floor bedrooms felt warmer than below, it was not possible to open the front bedroom window to obtain any fresh air as it was sealed with paint. Hot water pressure in the bathroom was poor as was the electric shower unit. Overall an OK property worthy of 6/10 Hide

There is a bit of rust around the plug hole in the bath. Maybe a repair on that, would improve the feel of the bathroom.

Amazing location, very cosy, shame it's above another property as we were really quiet but the people in the property below complained about the noise level as wooden floors and appears to be no sound proofing at all.

The cottage is very well positioned for the town, carpark and beaches. Lovely cottage perfect for a stay in St Ives but it needs a few tweeks, Out of season you can park in the Island carpark but after that it can be more difficult to park and then the nearest carpark is Barnoon.
